Online Biofuels Certificates

Southeastern's Biofuels Program

Biofuels have become significant sources for transportation fuel in the United States. By using ethanol and biodiesel we can reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and significantly reduce pollution.

The growing need for a well-trained biofuels workforce is why Southeastern Illinois College has committed to providing high-quality and convenient training to support both the ethanol and biodiesel industries.

Our program prepares students to find a position in the biofuel industry, transfer to a senior institution for advanced training, or participate in an entrepreneurial role in this field.
